Integrative Dermatology: How Functional Dermatology Treats Skin From the Inside Out

What Is Integrative Dermatology?

Integrative dermatology is the future of skin health. Instead of only treating symptoms on the surface, this approach explores the internal, systemic, and lifestyle factors that shape your skin’s behavior. Dr. Moss uses a combination of traditional dermatology, evidence‑based holistic science, functional lab testing when indicated, and regenerative treatments to create personalized, root‑cause plans.

Why Many Skin Conditions Need More Than Topical Treatment

Many chronic or recurring skin issues are driven by internal imbalances such as:

• Gut microbiome dysbiosis

• Hormonal shifts

• Immune dysregulation

• Stress and cortisol elevation

• Inflammation

• Environmental triggers

• Nutrient deficiencies

If these drivers aren’t addressed, skin symptoms often return the moment medications stop.
